100% Plastic construction (just like OEM uses) - This allows us to have smoother transitions of the 4 different ID's this intake requires that would be impossible to recreate with any metal intake system. Using plastic also allows us to control the inside diameter to tighter tolerances than with something like carbon where the molds are outer diameter dependent (hence the smooth finish on the outside). Our transistions occur over several inches to keep slopes less than 15% (very smooth flowing!!!) The plastic construction also retains less heat than other materials (which is why most OEM intakes are plastic).
We use a 6" venturi with a large custom filter that wraps around it. This does many things, but its main purpose is to increase the velocity of the air...hence V-flow This was originally used on our 911 996TT intake system and had such great results with power increases that we have been adapting it to all of our other lines as well! The filter was specifically designed on a flowbench with the venturi, to control and promote the beneficial characteristics of this unique feature.
And lastly that I can think of is the heatshield/airbox that we have designed to supplement our kit. Our heatshield is also of plastic construction and shields the filter portion of the intake from the engine bay. The beginning half of the fresh air duct (OEM) is retained and fills the airbox with fresh cooler outside air. Not to mention it gives a really great finishing look to the part!!!!
These should be out in about 4 weeks with a price of around $200 keep an eye out!!!
******This image is of our prototype intake, it is of metal construction and is 3 pieces where the finsihed product will only be 2 for smoother transitions as well. We have a replacement engine cover in the design stages so to keep a factory look after our intake is installed!!*******
*****These dynos were done with an early version of GIAC (beleive before it was released) and our prototype piece. Our production intake will have better airflow than the prototype, and the current GIAC software is much more aggressive - just a disclaimer for the numbers on the dyno, they will be higher *******
